We didn&#39;t have dessert very often, so this applesauce cake was a special deal. It was my brother&#39;s first birthday cake, and she made it in a bundt pan. I think I&#39;ll make it this weekend - thanks!Sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-83719745624690150302013-09-18T07:25:03.284-07:002013-09-18T07:25:03.284-07:00I LOVE &quot;not even a recipe&quot; recipes.

And everything about her - my husband&#39;s grandmother (presently working on her multi-volume novel at the age of 85) is a lot like that, and my daughter has been fortunate to be near her great grandmother/GiGi for several years! Also, that cake looks delicious. :)windycityveganhttp://windycityvegan.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-8942101596169930182013-09-18T04:22:33.931-07:002013-09-18T04:22:33.931-07:00My mom is basically like your grandmother except t...My mom is basically like your grandmother except that she probably doesn&#39;t know what a mac is and that she doesn&#39;t bake:) That cake sounds great but I am sure I would be all over that frosting, too!Mihlhttp://www.seitanismymotor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-70455350333974836982013-09-17T21:44:40.317-07:002013-09-17T21:44:40.317-07:00Oh Andrea, I love this comment...

I&#39;ve never tried sorghum in a spice cake! What a great idea. Next time I&#39;ll just sub out a little of the A.P. flour for some sorghum.

I don&#39;t care about the cake, but I&#39;d give anything to know how my mom made the frosting. I&#39;ve searched all her cookbooks to no avail. I once memorized the recipe for a school recitation (the teacher was um, disappointed it wasn&#39;t a poem) but all I can remember is 11 tablespoons cocoa and 11 tablespoons sugar. Maybe hypnotism would work.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146578985330272891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-19141837172330202032013-09-17T18:25:09.647-07:002013-09-17T18:25:09.647-07:00That piping is totally perfect.
